You are all website wizards!
Many thanks to all of you who have used the site. After one week
since it was launched, we have received many many records, requests
for information and discussion on the forum.
The photo shown above was taken by Elizabeth Rowe. This is
her local Invergarry red squirrel who freqently feeds on her peanut
bird feeders in her garden. A big thank-you to Elizabeth for
this lovely photo! We would like more photos, so if you can,
attach them to your records or just email them to Juliet.
Comments have been very positive so far about the website.
Most find it clear, interesting, user-friendly and fun to
use. However, some are having problems with the map system.
This is likely to be due to either a slow broadband
connection or due to an old website browser. Obviously, the
better your broadband and more modern your browser the better!
We have found that those with Internet Explorer 6 (IE6) are
experiencing particularly slow access. This is because
Ordnance Survey no longer recoginise IE6.
Keep the comments coming, it helps us to improve the system
where possible, and please do keep on spreading the word.
Join the forum and we can then have some good discussions
going about many topics. All you have to do is register and
off you go. Here are some suggested subjects:
- Red squirrel mating antics
- Good places to see red squirrels
- Places to do 'extreme squirrelling'
- Red squirrel survey training
Happy squirrelling!
